Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial applications]

The present invention relates to a ball game machine capable of providing a player with a predetermined game value based on a display result displayed on a variable display device being a predetermined first display result.

[Prior art]

Conventionally, as a ball game machine capable of giving a predetermined game value to a player based on a display result displayed on a variable display device being predetermined specific identification information,
For example, when a ball hits a starting winning opening provided on a game board, a plurality of identification information drawn on the outer periphery of a plurality of rotating drums of the variable display device is variably displayed, and when the variable display is stopped. When the combination of identification information is predetermined specific identification information (for example, an odd number of doubled eyes), a big hit state occurs, and the opening and closing plate of the variable winning ball device is opened for a relatively long period to generate a large number of winning balls. It is known that a game value is provided to a player by causing the player to play a game. In such a ball game machine, when the combination of the identification information displayed on the plurality of rotating drums is other than the specific identification information, it is variably displayed under the same condition again by winning a ball in the starting winning opening. The device repeats the operation of variably displaying.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

For this reason, until the combination of the identification information of the variable display device becomes the specific identification information, the game becomes monotonous by simply repeating the variable ball operation to the starting winning opening and the variable display operation thereby, and furthermore, the starting winning opening. When the winning rate of the game is almost constant, there is a problem that the frequency of occurrence of the game value given to the player becomes almost constant and the interest in the game decreases. The present invention has been made in view of the above problems,
The aim is to increase the possibility of increasing the frequency of occurrence of game value by changing the variable display control of the variable display device, thereby increasing the interest in the game and preventing the game from becoming monotonous. An object of the present invention is to provide a ball game machine.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In order to achieve the above object, a ball game machine according to the present invention includes a variable display device, and a game when a display result displayed on the variable display device is a predetermined first display result. A jackpot generating means for generating a jackpot state which is advantageous to the user, and a predetermined second result wherein a display result displayed on the variable display device is other than the first display result and the jackpot state cannot be generated. Re-variable display control means for controlling the variable display device to variably display the display result when the display result is obtained, to derive the display result.

[Action]

When the display result of the variable display device is the first display result, the big hit generating means operates to generate a big hit state advantageous to the player. Also, the display result of the variable display device is the first.
When the display result is not the second display result but the second display result in which the big hit state cannot be generated, the re-variable display control means operates, and the variable display device variably displays again to derive the display result. That is, even if the display result of the variable display device is not the first display result, if the display result is the second display result, the variable display device unconditionally derives the display result again through the variable display operation. Since the likelihood of the first display result being displayed is increased, the interest in the game is increased, and the monotony of the game can be prevented.
